Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

(1) Leinster in their pomp vrs Munster in their Pomp - Neutral Venue : Who wins & why??
Ok no matter what I'm a Munster Man true and true. Munster in their pomp beat the All Blacks... need I say more?
More recently, Chicago had a bunch of Lawnstor players but lets look at the scoring stats
Ireland: (25) 40
Try: Murphy (10'), Stander (17'), Murray (33'), Zebo (48'), Henshaw (76')
Conversion: Sexton (11', 35'), Carbery (77')
Penalty: Sexton (4', 24'), Murray (59')
Of the 40 points Ireland Scored
Munster 25
Lawnstor 15
Right lets stick to the usual red v blue
Contemponi rubbed it in O'Gara's face Christmas 2005. What was the score 6 months later in the Semi Final of the Heineken Cup.. in Lansdowne Road?
Alas, the 2009 Semi was a kick in the teeth if you wore red. I been to a lot of these derbys.
Ok, the Lawnstor got going, at last. A few Cups, fair play. Munster are no Begrudgers. Yes ye played amazing Rugby, had Rocky Elsom, bolstered the Green jersey too and Joe Smith got to practice.
Neutral Venue
2006 Munster, O'Connell, Axel, ROG & Co vs 2009 Leinster Drico, Darcy, Elsom (The Drico Darcy, Horgan vintage was better than Ringrose Henshaw, Larmour IMO)
key Battles
Malcolm O vs Paulie in the line out - Paulie
Heaslip vs Axel - Too close to call
Leamy vs Elsom - Elsom
Back 5 vs Back 5 - Leinster (neither blue or red wings would see much ball)
I think it would come down to the axis though
Strings/O'Gara vs Whitaker/Sexton
It a tight tense affair Leinster would be undone by their own processes. O'Gara would keep them pinned and Sexton would bring Drico into the game.
Ultimately it would come down to the tee, and my money would be on O'Gara and Munster for that reason.
Enjoyed this analysis, but I must profer Leinster 2012 as "Leinster in their pomp." Reddan instead of Whitaker, a much better more mature Heaslip, Sexton and SOB, Thorn instead of Mal O'K, Mike Ross instead of Stan Wright. Yes losing Rocky from the 09 team isn't great but overall a stronger and more balanced team in 2012.
but I digress!

Right I think its time to call this one and work on the next spotlight (Unless the TT Thread would like to maintain its spotlight for the week?)
Thank you all for your questions, so many interesting ones that made me think or remember and some bold too. We have a great community here and runners are a great bunch. The forum is in a healthy place and its just what we need during this challenging time.
I've cast my line for the next boardsie runner to take the baton. Hope to roll out the welcome mat tomorrow, early.0
